    1. Have you looked at other laptops elsewhere? They are a very comparable price. This is the going rate for a laptop of that spec.
    2. Unproven upgradability? They are quite literally the ONLY laptop manufacturer to have provided ANY upgradability in the last 5 years. Why are you concerned about them letting you upgrade in 5 years when no one else lets you upgrade even next year?

      The base £1700 price (and that’s with no ports or hard drive! So more like 2k) is about £800 from HP.

      You’re paying for upgradeability. If you can’t upgrade, you’re wasting the money.

        But it does have ports and storage? It specifically defaults to 6 USB-C expansion slots which can be switched to USB-A for no price increase or for a minimal price increase any other port.

        It also comes with a 512GB SSD. The only thing it doesn’t come with is the dedicated GPU which is an extra £400.
